HENRY WARD nEkCHER.

At the ripe age sf 73, while his in- tellectual faculties were yet in their full vigsr and with physique of re- markable strength for his years, Henry Ward Beecher has laid down his liie's work and passed beyond the vail which divides the here from the hereafter.
 It Itisnearly half century ago since Beecher first preached at Lawrence burg, Indiana, then sparscly settled frontier town. Afterwards he grew ts be the greatest pulpit orator of the time-probably the greatest the world has ever seen. In the history of church oratory he will rank with Bossuet, Fenelon. Irving aud Mel vile. In his ewn time he had no peer.
 In other countries than this he was the best known of all Americans and the most highly honored. When Abraham Lincoln sent him to Eng land ts turn thetide of public opinion in favor of the Union cause, the ablest of our presidents accurately measured the man. His mission seemed at the time forlorn hope, but Beecher's unfaltering courage, feryid eloquence and irresistible logic sterumed the flood of southern sym pathy in the old country and did more to help the Union cause than is generally understood. At that time Beecher was in the zenith of his phy- sical and intellectual power. He had a reputation in Europe even greater than he had in his own country, be- cause there he had no political antag- onism, and they only saw the might y man who had fought slavery with im :. placable hatred. The messenger of the most high, who,. with his fervid eloquence proclaimed the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
 To Henry Ward Beecher may be given the credit of preventing the forcible interference of England in behalf of the Confederate States, We can scarcely comprehend what this means. The result of the war would undoubtedly have been the same, but the conflict would have been pro. longed and the sacrifice of life would have been much greater had Euro pean powers given help to the south ern cause.
 What was 1t that gave Beecher his power as pulpit oratorf He was not as great scholar as his friend Storrs,

FRISCO COUNTY.

The territorial legislature by an even vote in the council defeated the bill
 to create the new county of Frisco, from the northeastern part of Yava- pal. It had previously passed ;the
 lower house by vote of IS to 8 and
 the vote of 6 to 6 in the upper house
 showed tkat exactly three-ffths of the
 whole body of legislators, voted in its favor.
 Now that the question is settled for
 the present, the people ofthis portion
 of the Territory, accept the decision
 under protest. They are fully aware
 that they have been treated unjustly ;
 that their legal rights have not been
 considered and their privileges as cit-
 izens and taxpayers arbitrarily ignor-
 cd.
 The unwieldly dimensions of Yav.
 apai county; the great distance of the present county seat from large portion of its population and the great inconveniences thus entailed; the enormous cost to litigants and others having business at Prescott; the heavy mileage of officials the diversity of interests between the northern and southern portions of the county and and the general principles which uni versally apply to the local adminis- tration of the affairs of all csmmuni- ties, are arguments which have been advanced over and over again in these columns andIhave never been refuted. The immovable ground on which the tax payers of this section have based their claims fora. new .county, have been met-not by arguments and fscts- but with ribald jests, fierce denuncia- ton and all of the trickery known to petty, political warfare. The psliti- cal fossils who have ruled Yavapai county in the past--with much bene- 6t to misunderstanding their DOT tion of the county at standstill in growth and this portion rapidly in- creasing in wealth and population, were determined not to let go their grip of such source of valuable in. come. Although they could find no arguments to use upon the floor of the legislature, or through the press, against the equity of the measure, they succeeded in defeating the bill.
 The CHAMPION as the representative of the home Interests of the people of this section of Yavapai county--re- gsrdless of political affiliations--will continue to, work for the proposed county division with every honorable means in its power. Knowing that 1t is only question of time. That the equitable demands of this growing and community must be, ere long acceded to, in spite of the oppo- sition of a clique whose only aim has been to benefit themselves at the cost of the taxpayers. |

PRESCOTT ARIZONA, MARCH Ioth., 1887. The fourteenth legislature is now thing of the past and the peo. pie of Flagstaff and this portion of the territory, however, much they may be disappointed with the general re- suits of the labor of the legislature will ever remember with gratitude the names of senators Breed, Drake, Wat kins, Lyons and Goodrich, who voted solid for the creation of Frisco coun- ty. All the ther..county bills were lost.
 The printing of the economical fourteenth is curiosity. The follow ing are few of the items asked to be inserted in the appropriation bill
 Governors message t75o.oo. Interstate commerce bill,
 100 copies srS.oo. Trsasurer's report soc copies oat.oo. Auditors report zoo copies S95.oo. Supt. Public Instruction -- 73s.oo. Roll calls etc. 37o. CO. These figures speak for themselves. What did osr legislators,wan with 100 copies of the Interstate commerce bill at cost to the territsry of SaI5 for this one item5
 It was understood at the commence. nent of the session that the territory had nc authority to eIpend any mon ey for this purpose beyond the allow ancs made by the United States, which is about Sa,soo. Itis now stated that the bill for printing, which the terri tery is called on to find the funds fer, is about $50 some of which is for work done last sumner. What the present legislature has to do with bills contracted long before they were in existence as territorial legislators, is something that "no fellow can un. derstand." So far as regards print ing incidental to the legislative work, if they have the. authority to spend ten dollars more than is allowed them they have the authority to spend $Io,- 900. "There is nigger in the wood pile somewhere"
 Both houses have been holding night sessions for the last few days to catch up with the wsrk before them. All of the sheep bills have been passed and the sheep men are correspondingly happy. It is rumored here that L. C. Hughes was offered the probate. judge ship of Pima county by the governor, which Mir. Hughes peremptorily re- fused to.accept. Of course the object was to get hin our sf the way SO that the coast might be clear for the gov ernor to appoint some one else to the commissionership of immigration:
 The governor has made the follow. ing appointments: Edrom H. Hitler and George T.. Kemper, both of Ma ricopa county. on the board of direc- tors oi the insane asylum. Joseph Campbell and Ben Goldman, both of Maricopa county, to the board of the territorial normal school. George H. Stevens, of Graham, Isaac Lyons, of Yuma and Peter R. Brady, ot Pinal county, as members of the board of prison commissioners.
 W. C. Blakely is appointed probate judge of Mohave, and Robert E. Mor. rison, ofApache county. R.R. Monk to be probate judge of Cochisc and Thomas D. Satterwaite of Pima coun. ty. The people of Pima are much displeased with the last mentioned appointment, as he was defeated a, the polls at the las, election by ma i jority of over 300.
 At late hour on Thursday nigh, the governor sent in the following ap-

II is q singular fact that the total vol,
ume Of freight over the great trunk lines
OF railway from the west has net IN.
creased since the year 1880. In that wear
1t amounted TO 1921, se7 tons for tlle FIRST
eight months Of the year. For the same
period this year the freight has amounted
TO 7Bel,5 500 tons. The explanation of
the fact seems 10 be TINT farming in the
west has only extended in the same ratio
with the growth OF towns and cities n
that direction, and that the latter con-
sumo the surplus Of products that Is
raised over the production Of seven wears
ago The west has also embarked more
extensively in manufacturing. which in
creases the local business and supplies the
people with the surplus of goods. for
merly bought in the east, which they
now use over the amount required IN
1881. - -
An interesting fact in this connection
= that the freight moving westward from
The great Atlantic cities in 1851 was 211.-
o04 tons down to Sept. 1, while this
year to the same date. il has been 9tS.-
